..... .............. Semi-WeeHly Herald F il ID A Y, DEC. 30, 1004. F ir s t D em ocrat from the Sixth. For Better Roads. Norway, Oregon, Dec. 24, 1904. E ditok H erald : Please give me a little space in your paper for few words on this subject, from a Shuck-Hill standpoint. It is a bit ter pill for anyone to have to swal low, and always will be to wallow through this road, if the roads are not worked on a better plan than they have been in the past. In the first place, the system of taxation needs fixing. The man who pays $3.00 road tax works a day and a half out of 3C5 days in mud and slush, accomplishing very little in the betterment of the road. This is a perfect shame at the present stage of civilization for as proud and up to-date people as we Americans claim to be, to submit to the use of simh miserable excuses for roads. Y fe ca% certainly do better, and why not get at it right away and let the present generation have a part of the benefits of better roads while they live. We should all give at least one day out of each month to the road I would not give a snap of my finger for a man with not enough public spirit to fix a mud hole right at his own gate. What we get out of this world all depends on how we apply ourselves to re ceive it. I f a man wishes to ride a slick horse, he must use the brush. I understand that it costs $3,500 per mile to build roads. While the rock and gravel are handy and free, why not help ourselves to them. I want things changed some way, for it costs too much for a man to get to town with his wife to spend a little chicken money. She has tc give four chickens for the trip, so in the course of a year she will have to raise a whole lot of chickens to get a dress around for a baker's dozen. Now, Mr. Editor, I am not in the least angry oyer these things, but they are straight facts all the same, and when a fellow’s pocket book looks as though an elephant had walked all over it, he begins to to realize it almost too Bensibly for comfort. When this generation passes away and others come on to use the last ing improvements throughout our land and country, we should put our shoulders together and pull and roll up sand and stone, and leave little mounds that will show to the world lor ages to come that people in 1905 tried very hard to do some thing for the rising generation. I f more time were spent in agi tating and planning good roads, it would prove a great benefit to the public. Our lands will increase in value to double what they will with the present bad roads. I t costs im migrants considerable to travel about to look at the country, which presents an uninviting appearance under present conditions in old Coos where the life-long and generous- hearted old Southerners and N orth erners have been so long together that they all look the same to me. So, come, oue and all, whether you have money or not, we are all the same in Coos, whore honey and spuds are in abundance. Is S w e p t b y S to rm .
